Texas Monthly: "Born and raised in El Paso, Sergio Troncoso is a prolific short story writer, novelist, and essayist. In From This Wicked Patch of Dust, Pilar
and CuauhtĂ©moc MartĂnez are raising their four children in Ysleta, a
border town. The novel unspools over four decades, and spans from Ysleta
to New York City to Tehran in the aftermath of September 11, as the
physical, ideological, and religious borders between the family members
threaten to separate them for good."https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-culture/latinx-texan-literature/
